POMEROYS RACE WINNING BULTACO

[jerry]

JC that seems to confirm Daves story. Any chance you can put the photo up? Thanks Jerry

[SAABCOMBI]

Jerry, you can tell by the shape of the carbie in the picture ( pomeroy bike ), its Amal, Bultaco never used bings that much, a bing in that era has a long slide neck. and amal is smaller squotter look. and a 76 bultaco frontera 360 l rode and that used an Amal.

Thanks Dave which picture?

Not sure what you mean Geoff, but the diffs I'm describing can be easily seen even from a reasonable distance.

I’m not that much of a Bultaco trainspotter John and I was thinking that as some of this debate is about what frame Jim used I thought that someone more knowledgeable may be able to spot the subtle differences as to which frame he used.
The hard part to this though is that there are so many pictures of Jim from different events, and we need to look at the 73 GP pictures only.
Also the CMS frame I have put up probably isn’t a good one to compare with as if he did use a CMS frame it would have been an earlier version.

I just had a look through my Pursang brochures and the first Bing carb was on the Mk9.
 The Mk 9 Frontera had Amal carbs but I believe the later ones came with Bings.
  The Mk 10 Frontera came with Bings.

  Geoff the difference I can see in the frame(and it is hard to see) is the foot peg mounts.They seem different to the Bultaco mounts,maybe even bolt on mounts?

production bully`s may have used bings, but that bully of Jim pomeroy`s bike has an Amal.

Moto, the Mk8 125 that I've got has a Bing on it. Were they not standard on this model?

Regards Stan.

The foot peg mounts would have been bolt on as this part of the frame looks the same as the CZ version.
But it may also be the earlier version of the CMS frame had different mounts to the frame pictures I have.
I know CMS had earlier versions fo their frames but I haven't seen any pictures of them



Apparently when Jim saw this bike he declared it was his old bike but after looking at photo’s of Jims race days the owner now doubts that.
Although maybe Jim raced this version at later events???

Stan,
       You get me every time with that 125  (no brochure) Yes the 125 Mk 8 also had a Bing on it. My book shows the Mk7 125 having an Amal.

The bike above looks to have a mikuni fitted just by the shape of the float bowl or am I mistaken.

Thanks Moto,
I also had a new MK7 125 and it did have an round Amal std, although Bert put a bigger one on methonal on mine from new.
I still had the new std one up till a couple of years ago but I haven't seen it for a while.

Stan.

my mk8 125 had a bing.

Hey David, what sort of Jawa have you got?

Regards Stan.

It may well be but its a modern picture.

I suppose this CMS frame Bulty is a bit of a thread hijack but what the heck, how much reason do we need to post a photo



Continuing with a thread hijack, heres some from 74
